Over the past few years, emotes have become commonplace in games, including League of Legends. In the six years since emotes launched in League, there haven’t been too many changes other than a few UI adjustments, and the additions of new emotes.
However, since Patch 13.8 went live and Patch 13.9’s changes have begun landing on the League PBE, players have noticed additional slots have been added to the emote wheel. On the PBE, players can now equip up to nine emotes.
